Synopsis

Over the years, plays, poetry, movies, and television have portrayed Cleopatra as an ambitious woman who used her beauty to seduce powerful men. But is this the real Cleopatra? This book shows how she used her intelligence, personality, and drive in a tragic attempt to restore Egypt to the greatness it had known under the great pharaohs of old.

About this title

About the Author:

Miller specializes in astronomy, science, and science fiction.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 6–8—Each title seemingly covers the most important aspects of each leader's life and tries to separate fact from fiction. However, more coverage is given to history than to the featured person. The writing is often stilted and can be confusing as many historical figures are introduced. Full-color maps, photographs, and illustrations give readers a visual understanding of the regions, architecture, and art associated with the individuals. Overall, the books are best suited for readers interested in general information about these periods than for reports.—Karen Scott, Valley Intermediate School, Pelham, AL
